How to Create the Blur Effect

Last Updated: Feb 14, 2018 12:29PM PST

We offer a background image blur effect that helps you create great-looking applications in less time than ever before.

Starting with just one image, you can now toggle the blur effect on globally or on a feature-by-feature basis to complete graphics for your entire app. If you want to spice up some features with a bit of added color, try adding the blur effect to images from our included gallery.

Works On:

iOS apps published September 1, 2015 & later

Android apps published September 15, 2015 & later

How-To:

Navigate to Create and select Design. Click Edit next to Home Screen Background.

Or, choose to navigate to the Build Step and select the feature you want to edit. In this case, click Custom Design > More Options > Screen Background.

Note:

The blur effect does not apply to carousel images.

For Web apps, the blur effect's success depends on the browser. Refer to this article for more details.
